Synopsis

A heart-wrenching exploration of grief from a bestselling YA author, set in a landscape corrupted by fame and the scrutiny that comes from living in the shadow of a star.

"Raw and brilliant." Holly Bourne

“A powerful, devastating exploration of grief and loss and fame.” Louise O'Neill

"An important, timely, and flat-out beautiful book about family, grief, and the lies and truths that both bind and unravel us." Kathleen Glasgow

To the world, Lizzie Beck is a superstar: famous, talented and beloved.
To Emmy, she is simply Beth: her brilliant older sister, her idol.

But then Beth takes her own life, and all the light in the world disappears.

Now Emmy is lost. Amidst the media storm and overwhelming public grief, she must fight to save her own memories of her sister – and find out who she is without her.
